The LIVESLovesLincs calendar is now on sale in aid of the Lincolnshire first responder charity LIVES.

The calendar was launched at Lincoln Cathedral on Tuesday, October 16 and it features images of Lincolnshire landscapes and landmarks taken by the public.

People were then asked to vote for their favourites in a special exhibition at Lincoln Cathedral.

LIVESLovesLincs has been an ongoing joint project by local firms Ringrose Law and DPS Digital.

In 2017, LIVES attended over 21,500 calls and 1 in 5 people in Lincolnshire have received help by one of the first responders in the last 15 years. It costs roughly £1.3 million each year to run the service.

Charlie McClelland, one of the fundraisers at LIVES, said: “As a local charity it’s always fantastic to collaborate and get support from local businesses like Ringrose Law. After the great success of the calendar last year, we are over the moon with the calendar this year and hope to raise a lot more money for our charity.”

Alex Bennett, marketing manager at Ringrose Law, said: “the calendar looks absolutely fantastic and the quality of the images is superb. We thank everyone involved with the project and now want to try and sell as many copies of the calendar as we can to raise money for LIVES.”

The calendar is on sale now across Lincolnshire at various locations including Lincoln Cathedral shop, Sainsbury’s Lincoln, Downtown and Boundary Mill in Grantham, and all Ringrose Law offices. The calendar will also be available from the team at various Christmas market over the coming weeks.

Two-way temporary traffic lights will be in place between Skellingthorpe Road and Dixon Street on Sunday October 21 for five days through half term.

The works, which are set to take place outside rush hour periods, are to create a hardstanding area within the grass verge for the pedestrian crossing to allow the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership to park and monitor speeds along the road.

The traffic lights will be in place during the day on Sunday with occasional, short duration use during the week.

A highways spokesperson from Lincolnshire County Council said: We realise this is a busy route, so we’ve scheduled the works for the half-term break, when traffic is much lighter.

“In addition, the two-way lights won’t be in place during the morning and evening rush hours, which should minimise any disruption to motorists.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
